I’ve managed to snip a hole in my compression pants trying to get off the drainage pads that were taped on. A constant memory of the bloody crime scene I’ve been living in. I have one incision on my left leg by the knee that is still draining a little and one on each ankleContinue reading “Two Days Post-Op”

Packing for Surgery
Having learned a few things from my first surgery I have packed much lighter for Surgery #2. It helps it’s summer and HOT in Spokane, so less clothes are needed. Plus I’m much more realistic about how much I’ll be in public, so I won’t need to look presentable very often. Here is my list:Continue reading “Packing for Surgery”
Allergy Shots!
Allergy shots day! I’m allergic to all things green, future green or once green. All the trees, grass, dust, cats, mold – it’s all out to get me. Except dogs! (Phew!) I’ve been subjecting these #lipedema arms to 4 shots for five years. Five more years, the allergist says! I’m worried the shots are makingContinue reading “Allergy Shots!”
House of Hagerty
I started a group for current, former and potentially future Lipedema Reduction patients of Dr. Daniel Hagerty of Premier Body & Laser in Spokane, WA. Love you have you join if this is of interest! https://www.facebook.com/groups/houseofhagerty/
Caftan Summer
I do love me a portrait mode filtered #selfie! Almost hides the IKEA bag full of laundry to put away! 🚨#newcaftan alert! 🚨 It really is a #caftansummer y’all. Caftans are like the portrait selfie mode of dresses! Look great and hide some of the #lipedema mess… 🤣
Vibration
A few minutes into researching Lipedema and you will (probably for the first time like me) hear about The Potential Benefits of the Vibration Plate! Then you will see (like almost everything Lipedema related) that these damn things are expensive and confusing! The concept makes sense, shake it all up, move stuff around! It’s justContinue reading “Vibration”
Jazz
I bought this flowy maxi dress (caftan with a waist, really) at Target a week or two ago. It’s the most color I’ve worn in forever. It’s too big but it was on clearance so I figured it could work. And it DOES!! I have worn it almost every day. Doesn’t show dog hair, doesn’tContinue reading “Jazz”
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy! 💉Took my favorite @eshakti dress to the lovely Dr. Nicholson to take care of one little varicose vein that needed tending to before Leg Surgery #1 on July 13th. Decided I can’t be bothered about my black @marena garment straps showing. 🖤 I have enough to worry about!! Today, 15 days post-op abs/flanks &Continue reading “Sclerotherapy”
The Dreaded Butt Shelf
This was the last real night out I had before The Current Unpleasantness, March 6, 2020. A night we’d been planning and looking forward to for months – the live My Dad Wrote a Porno show! (I’ve mostly traded live music for live podcasts and I’m just fine with that.) Paid the big bucks forContinue reading “The Dreaded Butt Shelf”
